It is with sadness that we report the passing of Stephen Dane, Hardware Consultant for Ghostbusters as well as the man responsible for designing the look of Ecto-1.

Mr. Dane is also credited with work in conceiving the look of the Proton Packs and Ghost Traps, building the physical prototype of the Proton Pack, designing the appearance of Slime Scoop and Slime Blowers, and visualising the look of the Ecto-1's sister car, the Ecto-1A. Beyond Ghostbusters, Dane worked on Blade Runner, Miracle Mile, Red Dawn and Back to the Future: The Ride.
